    Hi, all. Great info.

    Just to let you know. The video did not transmit in the e-mail from Feedburner. I had to click over to the site to find it.

    If you find out how to make videos appear in Feedburner messages, I'd like to know how you did it.

    Keep up the good work.

    Great advice! I received some of this advice before I went to Blue Ridge this year [my first conference] and was able to sit back and just learn instead of stress over selling my novel. I enjoyed talking to you at lunch there. Your book trailer for the new novel was really nice.

    Thank you so much for this video. Honestly, I wonder if I should rethink this. Publishing seems so daunting sometimes, but then there are the days of "Well, it's worth a shot." *SIGH*... I said thanks, right? :D
